Some key facts on solar energy highlight its significant potential in resolving the climate
change crisis:

The Sun has sufficient helium mass to provide the Earth with energy for another
five billion years. It emits enough energy to power humankind for an entire year
in 1/816,000th of a second!

The Earth receives only one half of one billionth of the Sun's radiant energy, but
in just a few days it gets as much heat and light as could be produced by burning
all the oil, coal and wood on the planet.

Worldwide, some two billion people are still without electricity. For these
populations it is more economically viable to install solar panels than to extend
established electricity grids.

Harnessing this power can reap significant benefits for businesses, individuals and governments alike. For example, businesses can use solar energy to:
